Try NOT to snap the old ones this time
He'll have endure the inevitable fiasco of the wrong part turning up/delivery to the wrong address/taking ages because it was routed via Tipperary and Timbuktu first!

Point being that if a glow plug is open circuit when measuring from the control unit, it aint the control unit, but either the glow plug itself or the loom. Loom less likely on a sub 20yr old car.True enough that's after the control unit  |

I believe Tunnie's are NLA 🙁Mm ok I thought switch them on from cold for a bit and check each one💁🏿♂️Will struggle for access to do that, even with a IR stat. If access was easier, I would pop the connectors off the top of plugs, and measure back, but would need a tunnie to get in there without some level of disassembly. And you can never find a tunnie when you need one |

Whether or not that resolves the particular issue of slight erratic idle when starting from cold will not be known until its been replaced, but its a likely candidate and most certainly needs to be fixed before going any further. |

The Alabama Mumsybus threw a generic glow plug controller code along with the occasional code for a specific glow plug, usually #2 or #4, but never together, although this varied enough to be deemed inconsistent.
Symptoms were long cranking and unburned fuel in the exhaust during cold starting unless the glow plugs were cycled twice. A new glowplug controller eliminated the codes and the cold starting issue. Point being, it might not be a glowplug fault.  |
